Athens, August 11, 2021 – The UGA's Selig Center for Economic Growth released its 2021 Multicultural Economy report, detailing the explosive growth of Asian American, Hispanic, and African American consumer buying powers in the last decade. This report also details the need for companies to pay attention to marketing consumer goods and services to these rising demographics.

The Selig Center compile data gathered from U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and other economic datas. The combined share of the three groups' buying power increased to 17.2% in 2020 from 10.6% in 1990. The combined buying power exploded from $458 billion in 1990 to over $3 Trillion in 2020.

“A major factor underpinning the growth of the nation’s minority markets is that African Americans, Asians and Hispanics continue to become more highly educated, which allows proportionally more Blacks, Asians and Hispanics to enter occupations with higher average salaries,” said Jeff Humphreys, director of the Selig Center and author of the Multicultural Economy report.

Several factors driving the major shift in consumer buying powers are the changing demographics, rising entrepreneurial startups, higher educated workforce, and population growth.

Total buying power of the U.S. consumers expanded by 55% from $11.3 Trillion to over $17.5 Trillion between 2010 and 2020.
